Attention Seniors! It’s that time in high school when you are likely thinking about graduation. Your school counselors are here to help you with your post-graduation planning. We want to help all students with the path you choose.
For students planning to apply to college, we want to share important information and steps in the process.
Please follow this link: https://www.ewsd.org/o/ehs/page/senior-college-application-process which will bring you to the college application steps and how-to videos. It’s important to start these steps early (4-5 weeks before your first college deadline).
We will also provide college application help during FLEX each Friday this fall. Students can sign up in Advisory or email their counselor to sign up. Topics include Naviance support, Common App support, applying to college checklists, building your college list, visits, etc.
The #EWSD Board will next meet on Tue., September 19 starting at 6:30 p.m. in the EHS Library. The full meeting will be available to watch on Facebook Live thanks to the Media Factory (www.facebook.com/BTVMediaFactory).

Through my special education lens, she is a teacher who considers every student as an individual and will do anything in her power to give them every opportunity to be successful. Jen embraces all learners as their own”.
“She creates classroom routines supportive of SEL and executive functioning. She is a teacher who goes above and beyond to support all students and makes all students feel welcome, successful, and cared for”.

The Heavenly Food Pantry, located at the First Congregational Church on Main Street in Essex Junction, will be open to residents of Essex, Essex Junction, and Westford on Monday, September 11, from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Beginning at 5:30, families arriving will be given a number, where they will wait in the sanctuary for their number to be called. They will then be registered and guided to the food pantry, where a volunteer will greet and escort them around, allowing them to make selections of their choosing. After food is gathered, it will be weighed (information for pantry use only) and another volunteer will bring the food to the family’s vehicle. Shopping carts will be made available for those within walking distance of the pantry. Face masks are optional for those entering the food pantry to ensure safety for visitors as well as volunteers. As usual, there are no income requirements to visit the food pantry and a variety of food is available to everyone; however, additional food is provided by the USDA once a month to eligible persons who fall below federally mandated guidelines.
Those not able to attend the pantry may call the Church office at 878-5745 between 9 a.m. and noon today or Monday to leave contact information (name, address, number of family members, phone number) so arrangements for delivery can be made. Follow-up calls to complete registration and schedule deliveries will be made Monday morning. Families are currently able to visit the pantry each time it is open the 2nd Monday of the month from 5:30-7:30 p.m. and the 4th Thursday of the month from 2-6 p.m. (except for November and December when it is the 3rd Thursday). The next food pantry distribution will occur on Thursday, September 28 from 2-6 p.m.
